Question 4772
What consequences can a shock absorber in poor condition have?
- The vehicle gains stability.
- The lights bounce while driving and can dazzle.
- A shorter braking distance.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The lights bounce while driving and can dazzle.
With a worn shock absorber, the body keeps moving up and down after each bump. The headlights move with it, and at night the beam moves up and down and can blind oncoming drivers. Braking distance also increases, and the car loses stability.
